Hello and welcome back to all of Class Three and their families.
I hope you have had the most wonderful of summers, full of rest and relaxation. I am happy to say I will be teaching Class Three this year and just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you that have come up and made me feel so welcome these first few weeks. I look forward to meeting all of you over the course of the year.
We have come back to Class Three and immediately I have been able to see the hard work that the class are putting into their work. We have begun by studying the book "Here We Are" by Oliver Jeffers.
We have all ensured we have a correct reading book and should be bringing it home each night. We should aim to read at home, at least three times a week. Credits will be given to all children who achieve this, and indeed, all who exceed it. We also have our time table rockstars. All children have been given their logins and we should aim to complete 10 one minute sessions a week.
Over the course of this week this term's home learning tasks will be published in the usual way.
Linking to our book we have been improving our map skills in class three locating the important parts of our country and indeed the world. In our reading we have been studying extracts on the book "Haunters" and also a text on the sinking of the Titanic. In our Maths we have begun by looking at the importance of the placement digits within numbers and will be moving on to look at negative numbers and rounding.
We have also begun to look at our History work for this Term: The Tudors and have begun by looking at how different people may have seen him during his reign.
In Computing we have begun to discuss staying safe online and the dangers that can occur when using a computer.
If you have any questions of queries about anything please do not hesitate to contact me either when I am on the gate or contact the office to arrange a meeting or a phone call.
I hope that you will remain safe and warm over the next few weeks and my next update will be towards the end of September.
Mr Long
